Re: Njf Gambler Njfishing Sea Bass 2/2
 

was jigging most of the day. seemed the only time the bass didn't want the jig was first thing in the morning. as the sun got higher in the sky, jigging really too off. i don't know where we were fishing , be it wreck or open bottom. but the bass were there.

Yes sir, what a day!:eek: More jumbos than you can shake a jig at.:D I might have to say that was one of the best trips I've had in awhile as far as quality sea bass. I did not get the # of porgies as some, but then I was fishing with big 6/0 hooks so the dozen I did land were all hubcap sized. Super Bowl Buffalo Sea Bass bites are on the menu for tonight along with porgy fish stix.
One of the finest, friendliest operations on the water. Not to mention The most comfortable boat. Tom at the grill was on his game, especially those pork roll and egg sandwiches. Man what a meal.:eek: The mates were great as well. They filleted fish from about 1 when we left until we got in at 5. Super Trip. I wish the Gambler would stay in the water for the remainder of the sea bass season because I would be the first to sign up again if they did.
Nice to meet some new guys who I've talked to on the forum but never met face to face including Leif, Jay, Billfish, Ahab to name a few. Great group of like minded guys, and some awesome fishermen as well.

Oh come on now. . .there has to be a story that goes with that seagull picture

Re: Njf Gambler Njfishing Sea Bass 2/2
 

Leif- Sea Bass will close soon, what are you going to do if mackeral don't show up....Sea Gull charters ????

Re: Njf Gambler Njfishing Sea Bass 2/2
 

Leif, I just had that gull. I prepared it just like you said with the Cajun spices and Pinole nuts. Fantastic! I garnished it just like you explained with the beak and feet. Now I'm working on that handbag suggestion for my wife. How long so I need to let the skin and feathers cure for after urinating on it?

Re: Njf Gambler Njfishing Sea Bass 2/2
 

Jon,
Glad you enoyed the gull. They can be a tasty treat if prepared correctly. That gull was a nice size and the cajun spice and pinole nut rub does the trick on those old birds.

The leather you get from them is like a cross between ostrich and lizard skin.
Just let the skin soak in the urine for 2 days. The left over meat will scrap off easily. Just wash it off in a mild soap and let dry on a board,

Leif
